St Mary Bourne School

A Memory of St Mary Bourne.

My mum was born in Lower Link and started St Mary Bourne School around 1942. In those days there were only two classrooms in use. The Head Mistress was either a Miss or Mrs Lee who taught the older children. She thinks her teacher was Mrs Thompson (who, each day, brought her small son called Roger in with her - can anyone confirm this?). As there was no school dinners at this time she went to her grandparents (Henry & Martha Deacon) for lunch, who lived in a house called 'Applegate' which was opposite 'Tibbles garage' (?) near the church.
